  1. If you are thinking a good colour on it, I think the best choice is dark green with Hemi scoop and white Bumble B- stripe. Like in this picture: http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/chrysler/45/dartgts.jpg
  2. Very nice! I love these Super Stock and Pro Stock race cars and this is awesome model! Good paint, good decals and they are fitting well, very good detailing on the engine. That's impressive and your building skills are very great. Maybe I build models like this after 20-30 years...
  3. That's very awesome model! Good details, nice paintjob and those decals are fitting perfectly! Good job!

    56 Ford

    Thanks, that helps very much! I have to try!
  5. That winch is perfectly the same what is in my garage! Made by scratch... Or not...? Soecially that hydraulic pump is awesome. That Starliner reminds me from my first model, I built six years old! You one is much much better!
  6. Wait, I have to pick my jaw pieces on the floor. That's very very great looking model... I can't say more it's justso great and awesome...!
  7. I'm not a great Mopar fan but have to say that Dart is very nice car. Your build is looking good so far, keep us posted!
  8. Thanks Terror! I'm trying to keep this going but now I need parts for front suspension, one tie rod is coming, but more parts needing... Have to look what parts I'll really need and have to try swap them... Or then I make them from 100% scrathc as I will do with the rear suspension's four links. Next have to build all the brackets and then paint the frame and after that I'll make the floor...
  9. Yeah, Matador would be good kit. But I think that the engine from Jo-Han is good as enough to me. I did a few modifications to it and I don't need AMC 390 engine with my other projects... A good front suspension parts would be very good ones but how about the front wheel wells...? If them are good ones, think very seriously buying that kit. Othervise I still need the Mustang and I have two incomplete kits... That Matador is a bit harder to get from Finland, but I'll found one if I wont one, that's for sure! On the Finnish Car Modelers Association forum, the local AMC expert was found a '69 AMX. It was made by ERTL, I mean not AMT/ERTL but ERTL. It's very old and rare kit but it has quite good front suspension and inner wheel wells. Rear suspension was like Revell's and I would be built this lots of easier than from this Jo-Han ''high quality'' kit... But it wasn't Drag On Lady or even a Super Stock version but very much better kit... If someone want's to buy this kind of AMX, you all, buy that ERTL kit if you don't wan't to do very big modifications!!! This is just my luck, when I start something with very big work or modifications, something much better founds somewhere! Oh and there's the link for ERTL AMX: http://www.amhost.com/scooter/orangeamxpage2.html sorry my bad enghlish...
  10. I continued working with this. I made a tunnelram manifold from 100% scratch. First I made that plate on the top of the crankcase chamber. I flamed it, because after that it was more flexible. Then I made those intake pipes from the same brasstube as the frame. I rolled it because then it's bit more square. I soldered them to the place. For last, I made a plate on the top of the intake tubes. I test fitted everything to the place and it looked like this. Not so happy it's not so good but i have to fix the worst problems and then it's ok. I resized the pics, any better...?
  11. I made version 1 from the frame crossmember from styrene. But it wasn't so easy and it looked too unwieldy(?) I must build an other one, that comes from metal because i think, it's much easier to work with metal than styrene. I continued the seats. Lots of bondo to the backside and much sandpaper... Quite good. I painted seats with Revell Semigloss black but i have to sand a bit more before a new glossblack and then matt clear, maybe... Have to buy that AMT '67 Mustang to get those critical parts, now i have money. Yeah, i had to ask, is it this kit? If it's not post one picture, please. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517V9AKQ2DL.jpg
  12. That's very cool! Decals are fitting perfectly, lot's of Micro Sol and Micro Set...? Good paintjob, white is quite hard to paint...
  13. That's nice Camino! But i don't like those taillights or the new hood. Engine and firewall are bit too clean/smooth ones to me, a bit of hoses and wires maybe... Now the firewall is looking like 2009 hitech. But ohtervise very good looking custom Camino, is this the AMT kit? Very nice lake pipes and wheels and tires are fitting very well to the '59 and of course '60 El Camino, Impala, Bel Air... Good paintjob and you removed the side trim very very nicely. I got a bit problems with removing them...

    Gasser 55

    Outstanding '55 Chevy! Love gassers, good paint and detailing!
  15. Cool pickup! That tube grille and custom lights are looking good. Good and smooth paintjob and nice fender skirts. Good classic style custom. It's like straight from early 60's! I like it very much.
  16. Real or model...? Very great and real looking Ford. That paintjob is very nice and smooth. Awesome detailing, that engine is looking autentic. What is the manufacturer of that resin body/resin kit? It's a good body for gasser chassis!

    56 Ford

    WOW!!! That's awesome build. Good looking and very low custom. How did you make that sheet metal look to the door and rear fender? Looking very nice. Those cars behind '56 Ford are very nice ones too. I have projects where I need some sheet metal look. But your car is very nicely shabby (?), specially white wall tires and wheels are very very great ones. I like it very much!!
  18. They are looking very nice. X-Frame Chevys are awesome! Those decals are fitting perfectly and paintjobs are awesome. Very good detailing on the engine. I'm building ''Dyno'' Don Nicholson's '61 Impala Super Stock. It's Lindberg's good kit.
  19. WOW, that's awesome build! Very good looking, love these. Good details, nice paintjob and you did those modifications very very nicely. How nice can '57 Stepside be...? This is one of the best ones i've ever seen.

    1970 Duster

    Very nice duster. Yeah, it's '71 but it looks very good. Good detailing and paintjob is beautiful. Those wheels and tires are fitting very well to the car. Exellent job!
  21. That engine is very nice too. Plug wires are very nicely and that megneto is great too.
  22. WOW!!! What an amazing build as the other your cars. This is very beautiful and nostalgic looking Altered Wheelbase Mustang. Right now on my workbench, there is '66 Chevelle with '69 Charger front fenders. And it's AWB of course! And again, more pics please.
  23. It's very nice too! What is the kit you built this...? More pics, please!
  24. That's awesome build, man! Very good looking Chevelle and good nostalgic race car. Can you post some more pics?
  25. That's looking like killer I'm a big fan of PM/TDS racecars. This build is coming very nicely, keep on the good work and keep us posted!
